Chalice's and plate stunning. Glad to see an update. Please don't be tempted to break this tank down. Too many systems get broken down for an upgrade just as they are getting into their natural rhythm. Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much buddy. Natural rhythm, not heard of that, but a great phrase, I think my tank has hit this phase at about 20 months. I absolutely love the chalice as well, one of the favourite corals in the collection. Thank you so much for watching and commenting mate. Happy New Year to you and your family.

I love your tank Jay and the helpful information you share. How do you get crystal clear water, & and how do you get so many reef stickers? I have a bare door desperate to be filled!
@jaysrealreefuk
Жыл бұрын
Too kind mate, I'm really enjoying this little Max Nano Reef. For water clarity I do a 10 to 15% weekly water change as part of my routines. Also I run a tea spoon of activated carbon in a media bag in the sump, which helps. I change that out every 8 to 12 weeks. Stickers 🤣🤣. That's an Instagram thing in reefing, you just approach reefers and offer to swap stickers. Great fun, but like you say it also helps to decorate your cupboard. Reefing events at AAC like love to Reef or Krakna meet at Kraken corals are another great place to pick up stickers. Thank you so much for watching mate. Take Care

Stunned you only just now get an RODI :) Good stuff. I picked up a new wavemaker during the week and will use my GHL KHD only as a doser. Pretty pumped about that. The orange hammer is stunning! I really want to pick up 3 high end corals this year - a hammer, a 24k torch and a bright rainbow chalice. I also got a tiny tuxedo urchin during the week. I've had an urchin in the tank for the last 3 years that I collected in Croatia a few years ago but this one was cheap and small so I figured... why not. Have a merry Christmas Jay and everyone!

Hey, hope you are well mate. Thank you for continuing to watch and follow the tank. Sounds like you've got some high end equipment on your reef, that's only going to help with stability. Where do you get your corals from? Have you got a good coral supplier/farm local to you? Wishing you and your family the most wonderful Christmas. 🌲❄️✨
@sunnygoold9449
Жыл бұрын
@@jaysrealreefuk Well the KHD was a massive error and I reacted to the readings which sometimes turned out to be wrong. Since I stopped using it and testing KH once a week my tank has been much more stable. It was the only piece of equipment I spent good money on too besides my Great White Skimmer (which is a bargain skimmer I think as it's solid). I'm in Czech and I mostly get my corals from Fauna Marin and Freakin Corals in Lisbon - he is very close to TMC so he can choose healthy fish and ship them immediately from there. I also have a local importer I go to for more standard fish and there's others I have used for corals but I think Fauna Marin is the best - thing is we want particular corals right ;) Hope your family has a wonderful Christmas and I'm sitting next to my tank like every night 🤩

Thank you so much for watching the channel. I hope it has helped. The Red Sea Max Nano is an awesome little tank, but I would start with the Penisula version if I was beginning now. The extra space would really help.Torches and Gonipora are my favourites, so much movement and colour. For the top up tank I searched 15litre glass aquarium, not the cheapest option but works really well. It might be linked in the description in my setup videos at the start. Hope that helps mate.
